Baron do Gordoris, of Para, Brazil, is in
New York on his way to Portugal. On the
subject of freeing the slaves in Brazil he
says that the question takes precedence of
all Others in politics The general sentiment
is in favor of the abolition of slavery, the
differences in opinion being upon the
methods Of procedure. One party desires
that the slaves shall be freed at once with
out compensation TO the owners. This is
known as the Liberal party. The Conserva-
tive party favors gradual emancipation
under conditions similar to those which
already exist. Under present laws the chill
dren born of slave parents are free, and no
slave can he held after the age of 20. Baron
Gordoris does not express an opinion as to
which party will succeed.

A lawyer and Democratic politician of
Carson, Ia, was invited to respond to a
toast at a G. A. r. meeting at Macedonia
in the same State, a few days ago just
before his name was called he was told that
it would be better for him not to try TO
speak, as some of the G. A. r. men had or
ganized to prevent it. He replied that he
had been invited to respond 10 a toast, and
that he would do so unless forcibly prevent

Methods of Suicides.

Attention was called by the MORNING
NEWS some time ago to the awkward meth
DDS adopted by people who take their own
lives 1t seems that these unhappy people
exhaust ingenuity in devising painful and
horrible ways out of the world. Many of
the cases reported are rendered doubly re-
voting on this account Among recent
cases one reported from Bullitt county, Ky,
is specially horrible.
The victim was George Sawder, a young
farmer who was married only few weeks
ago, and who, up to ten days preceding his
rash deed, appeared to be happy and con-
tented At the time mentioned, however
he became suddenly morose and sullen, and
refused to hold any communication with his
wife or any of his relatives His friends
thought him deranged, but as he gave them
no reason to believe that he contemplated
suicide, they supposed his queer conduct due
to some domestic trouble. His young wife,
| said to be of most estimable character
| could give no reason for his condition. She
was unable to do anything with him,
but as he appeared to be perfectly harmless,
she thought he would eventually be restored
to his wonted reason and good humor. On
the day he took his life he seemed to be more
rational He asked for his razor, and when
it was given to him, sharpened it, saying
that he was going to dress himself and make
visit, but would not return before the next
day. He locked himself in his room and
remained quiet for two hours Becoming
alarmed at his silence, his wife forced her
self into the room. She found him
sitting on the floor in pool of
blood. He had cut himself all over the
body. He still held the open razor in his
hand, and made several efforts to use it,
but from loss of blood was too weak to do
SO. When aroused from the stupor he was
in he spoke to his wife and others, but would
give no reason for his terrible deed He
died few days after.
In cases like that of Sawder's, where in
sanity is plainly evident, it would seem that
the friends of the afflicted persons would
provide for their protection. 1t is however,
unfortunately fact that the proper thing
to be done under such circumstances is not
generally thought of until it is too late.

Christian Science Healers.

1t is doubtful if many of the readers of
the Century Magazine know the extent to
which Christian Science Mind Healing is
believed in until the publication of the Rev
DIR. Buckley's article on that subject in the
July number. 1t appears that there are
nine institutions devoted to graduating
Christian Science Mind Heaters, and they
must make good incomes, as their prices for
tuition are pretty high, and they do not
seem to lack students. Four of these insti-
tutions are in Chicago, two in New York,
one in milwaukee,, one in Brooklyn and one
in Cincinnati.
These Christian science mind healers" do
not use medicine of any kind, and do not
pay any attention to diet or exercise Their
theory is that as flesh and bone cannot
suffer, all disease is in the mind They.
therefore, operate on the mind, and proceed
upon the theory that if person who is i'll
can be made to believe that he is not suffer
ing and is well he will speedily be cured
Their whole treatment, therefore, consists
in efforts to make the sick person believe he
is well. They repudiate any connection
with Faith Healers,n and say that in their
system there is no dependence upon Divine
assistance. If one have an aching tooth or
painful corn he has only to make himself
believe that there is nothing the matter with
him to be freed from suffering.
There is no doubt that these christian
Science Mind Healersn effect some cures,
but the cases, as rule, are those in which
the patients have nothing serious the matter
with them, but think they have, or are physi-
cally Frustrated from mental worry. 1t is
probable that every physician meets with
patients of this sort in his practice, and aim
20 cure them by inspiring them with buoy
ant, cheerful feeling, rather than by the use
of medicines He may prescribe some harm
less remedy merely to satisfy them, but he
does not depend upon medicines to effect a
cure
THE Christian Science Mind Healers"
make great deal of the cases in which an
improvement is effected by their treatment,
but they are careful to keep in the back
ground those in which they fail; and if the
truth were known it would probably appear
that i'll most of the cases in which they claim
| TO have been successful, nature would have

The question is being quite generally
asked in the press of the country why Jacob
Sharp's lawyers should be permitted to go
free while he is sent TO the penitentiary
They were his agents and advisers. He took
no steps apparently in the business of
bribery until be had consulted with them.
They proiited by his crime. They charged
enormous fees, which were paid in money
received through illegitimnte transactions
From "A high moral standpoint they do not
appear TO be much better than Jacob Sharp
DR.. McGlynn now has chance to show
whether or not he is able to maintain him
self in the position which ho has deliberate
ly chosen. He is shut out from the church,
and it is probable that many of those who
gave him encouragement while he was a
priest, will now abandon him. If he has the
right sort of ability, however, he will be
able to mako for himself place in the local
politics of New York city.

A Judicial crime is agitating Scottsboro,
Ala. In August, 1884, George Smith, George
Hughes and Asbury Hughes were hanged
for burning a barn belonging to a man
named Porter. They were all convicted on
the testimony of the women of Porter's
household, who swore positively against
them. Adam Freeman, who was sent to
the penitentiary a short time ago for for
gerry, now confesSes that he burned the barn.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Star says that it is understood
that us soon as Minister Lawton is officially
received at Vienna, Mr.. Fonner Lee, Sec.
rotary Of Legation and, during the alb
sence of regular Minister, charge d'al-
flares, will resign His successor has been
agreed upon, and will be announced as soon
as Minister Lawton has been heard from
notifying the State Department of his re-
ception by the Austrian government.
The prevalence Of democratic ideas
in England is indicated by the way
society people are rushing into trade.
1t has recently been discovered in
London that one member of the aris-
tocracy is book-maker, another the keeper
OF cigarette shop, and third a dress
maker. Two or three other members have
clubbed together and started a washing
company. Perhaps the English aristocracy
is preparing for the coming Of republic.

Boys Used by SVyimdlers.

ST. JOHN. n. S., April Sin connec-
ton with the recent failure of the Maritime
bank it has been discovered that bills of
exchange which passed between the Stewart
firm Guy Bevan & Co., and the bank, were
endorsed by boys in the employ of the three
concerns The last English mail brought
notices to several of the boys that
hills bearing their names had been dis
honored and asking them to provide for
them. About dozen boys were used for this
purpose. and the operations have been
going on for some time, bankers who ac-
cepted the bills thinking the indorsers were
responsible parties. One lad stated that
when the firms and the Maritime bank
began handling the bills of exchange to-
gether no indorser was required save the
person in whose name the bill was drawn,
but as time passed on and the paper be-
came known in New York and the Cana
dian markets. and some of the bankers
demanded that in future bill should bear
more than one name. then the boys were
called into requisition. The lads say they
were never shown the face of the bills, and
until they received notice did not know the
amount that was contained in them. Some
of them have Endorsed to the extent OF
81, 900. Further developments are looked
